    Forgot to post on this thread the 2019 Meetup LE brushes I made recently. Made these via my usual technique by shaping, them drilling on the lathe, then turning around and securing with the 1 1/8” collett chuck (for 28mm knots). The tops of the handles are distressed with a few different dremel bits and then painted. Fried a Dremel bit as well. 18 handles done in total.
    The wood is Poculi again:

    I am new to TSD, but shaved with a brush, Williams, and a Gillette Old Type for these many decades. I have turned a number of inkwell razor stands, but am just starting in on brush handles. The blanks come out of the fruitwood and maple in my firewood rack, so the learning curve only costs time.

    Nothing fancy in the lathe department, just a full size Harbor Freight item via craigslist. My 1” skew, round scraper, and parting tool do most of the work after the roughing gouge is done with its part of the job. I need to pick up my spindle gouge and spear scraper more often. I have gotten a small 4 jaw chuck and a Jacobs chuck, but...

    I haven’t had much luck finding collet chucks, so if anyone can point me to some sources I would appreciate it! Neither my local woodworking shops nor Google have helped much. I want to be able to set smaller knots, 16mm and up, so I am hoping to find a few collet chucks that will cover a range 16 - 26mm. Thanks for any recommended sources!

    Welcome! We’d love to see your work!
    As for Collett Chucks, they are made by Beall tools. You can buy directly from them online, or in sets from Lee Valley.

    Thanks for the collet chuck info! Here are some inkwell stands, all but one out of the woodpile, maple and cherry.

    You might get the impression I like OCs, slants, and SE. :)

    Thanks for the welcome :thanks:
